Fell on my lead attempt after a hold popped off and injured myself on the way down. Top roped afterwards. Cruxes are between bolts 2 and 3, and then 2 bolts after the big ledge.

Vision crack
☆☆☆☆☆
I wish I enjoyed this more than I did, but I had so much anticipation anxiety I spooked myself out at a few points. Managed it with a couple of rests. Hardest section is definitely early on with the widening of the crack. Weird walking up until a beautiful overhang crack to get out of the main line. One of the more gravitational lines in the area, hard not to want to try it. The snapgate at the top is definitely in need of replacing with nearly 50% wear. I came off the wrap ring too.

Thought it was a 6a+ because older Ulassai books state that. Nearly flashed my first 6b but tried to come out the layback one move too early and took my first decent fall this holiday. Great route, pumpy!

Crux is predominantly once the wall gets whiter, thinner holds and balancy followed by breaking out the bulge. The bulge is easier if you get the hands right.

Incredibly fun movement, worth climbing at any skill level. Last few moves got surprisingly thin after a gliding climb.

Hardest move is moving from the third clip, matching on a small crimp to a big jug. Beautiful climbing, on this route and throughout this whole sector.

Pretty friendly. I think the topo is wrong. Similar to the climb left of this I think there is an extension that is substantially higher than 5c. I managed to get to the next couple clips but realised this was way beyond the grade. When highlighting the route it also give the same length as the route immediately left yet is imaged as approx 10m longer.

Pretty wild and slim footed exit out of the bulge! Even after clipping you're not out the clear. Once off the slab it's plain sailing to victory.

Last move before an easy finish is brave and relies on a slopey left hand and a high right foot.

Finishes in the same position as the 6a+ on it's right, not as low as it suggests. Beautiful 5c.

Best climb in the 6a grouping better than the 6a+'s done in this area. As harmoj has said, the topo seems to go right under the opposing overhanging section but there are not bolts. It is also not as far left at the left handed 6a+, so it seems to go up the very pocketed overhang. Beautiful climb <3

There seems to be some discrepancies on the topos and on site. I'm quite sure this 6a is labelled 5c in the cave, with it extending left out the roof, potentially getting 6c. Eddy is further right and does not extend, but is labelled to have extension at 6c. May need to be revisited by administrators. Climbing is probably 6a especially in scirocco conditions, the end is near impossible with grease on very polished and angled foot holds.

The start is harder than 5c after years of use. End is also very polished and terrifying in high humidity (grease everywhere)

Beautiful climb with lots of interesting features. There seems to be two lower offs, one a couple of bolts higher in the roof.

Slightly more difficult than Ponente on the left, especially the top. Again, the top seems to be at the first ledge rather than the top of the crag.

Ponente
★★★★
Very slim ending with lots of average feet and soft hands. Got the worse neck cramp imaginable! The route seems to be have been rebolted and the lower off is on the first ledge rather than the full length of the crag. Could not see bolts above. Needs to be updated on topo??
